Ok, so I'm the guy who came with the one-liner patch to the issue. I've
seen the issue (and fixed it) on both a U1/170E and a U1/200E. I asked
davem about it, and he basically said that he wants to look into it and
understand why it fixes it before blindly applying it -- but that it
would likely be applied eventually.
To this end, he's still borrowing my U1/170E...
